FOREWORD 

HE  purpose  of  this  volume  is  to  ex- 
plain the  kind  of  education  that  the 
state  of  Montana  offers  at  the  State 
College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic 
Arts.  Education  for  efficiency — for 
practical  usefulness— is  the  purpose 
of  the  College,  and  the  motto  of  this 
book.  An  education  that  will  enable  young  men 
and  young  women  to  take  hold  somewhere — 
that  will  give  them  the  knowledge  and  skill  that 
will  fit  them  for  a definite  kind  of  task— this  is 
the  aim  of  the  College;  and  the  explanation  of 
this  kind  of  education  is  the  aim  of  this  book.  If 
you  have  read  so  far  and  are  interested  in  this 
kind  of  education,  take  a few  minutes  longer  and 
read  through  these  pages  and  study  the  pictures; 
but  if  time  does  not  allow  you  to  do  this,  please 
at  least  remember  the  motto  of  the  book  and  the 
aim  of  Montana’s  State  College, 

‘ 'Education  for  Efficievcy.  ”

THE  NEW  MONTANA 


IN  the  ten  years  just  closed  the  State  of  Montana  has  increased  in  population  more  than  fifty  per 
cent.  With  no  danger  of  being  accused  of  exaggeration,  we  may  conservatively  conclude  from 
population  conditions  in  older  states,  that  a growth  something  like  this,  Montana  will  share  with 
many  western  states  for  some  years  to  come.  A great  industrial  commonwealth  is  to  be  built  up 
within  the  life-time  of  young  men  now  living.  The  state  is  to  receive  hundreds  of  thousands  of 
the  most  active  and  enterprising  farmers  and  business  men,  who  are  coming  from  the  eastern 
United  States.  Great  systems  of  agriculture,  irrigation  and  waterpower  are  to  be  planned  and 
put  into  operation.  Homes  are  to 
be  constructed,  schools  built  up, 
manufactures  and  arts  to  be  intro- 
duced. Ideas,  methods,  systems  of 
thought  and  action  are  to  be  adapt- 
ed to  the  special  conditions  which 
our  environment  and  history  im- 
pose. No  more  attractive  program 
of  constructive  work  was  ever  more 
surely  offered  to  an  ambitious  peo- 
ple; and  it  is  with  an  outlook  toward 
the  future,  toward  the  New  Mon- 
tana, that  the  work  of  the  Montana 
State  College  of  Agriculture  and 
Mechanic  Arts  is  being  planned. 

It  is  to  prepare  men  and  women  to 
do  the  constructive  work  of  the

future  that  the  College  aims.  You  believe  in  the  growth  of  the  state  and  wish  the  younger  gen- 
eration to  be  prepared  for  the  tasks  which  this  growth  will  impose  upon  thoughtful  and  well 
prepared  citizens  in  the  years  just  ahead  of  us.  Look  over  the  work,  the  methods,  and  the  ideas 
that  are  represented  in  the  courses,  the  equipment,  and  the  faculty  of  the  State  College  of  Agri- 
culture and  Mechanic  Arts.  The  state  demands  efficiency  for  her  coming  citizens.  Education 
for  efficiency  the  College  offers.

Education  for  Efficiency 


The  college,  it  has  been  stated  in  a form- 
er paragraph,  is  prepared  to  offer  an  edu- 
cation that  will  give  men  and  women  efficiency 
for  the  alluring  task  of  building  up  a great 
commonwealth.  Specifically  what  this  means, 
is  set  forth  in  the  outline  just  given.  Atten- 
tion is  called  to  the  variety  of  the  work  out- 
lined. The  college  does  train  men  for  all  kinds 
of  agriculture  that  Montana  conditions  admit, 
including  every  kind  of  animal  industry  and 
the  production  of  every  kind  of  crop.  But  this, 
though  perhaps  the  best  known  phase  of  the 
college  work,  is  only  one  of  the  kinds  provided 
for  in  its  curriculum  and  authorized  equally  by  the  state  and  federal  laws  under  which  it  is  organ- 
ized. The  teaching  of  “Mechanic  Arts”— legally  interpreted  to  mean  engineering— is  by  law  made 
its  leading  object  equally  with  the  teaching  of  agriculture.  In  the  completeness  of  its  teaching 
equipment  for  engineering  and  in  the  number  and  professional  standing  of  its  engineering  faculty, 
the  college  asserts  its  superiority  to  any  other  institution  in  the  state,  and  its  equality  with  any 
other  institution  in  the  Northwest.  No  student  in  any  Northwestern  state,  from  the  Mississippi 
to  the  Coast,  has  access  to  better  equipped  laboratories. 

But  “other  scientific  studies”  are  also  provided  for  by  the  law,  and  courses  are  organized,  as 
has  been  shown,  in  chemistry,  biology,  physics  and  mathematics,  pharmacy;  and  for  students  who 
do  not  wish  to  specialize  in  any  one  science,  a course,  which  with  considerable  science  also  includes 
a good  deal  of  work  in  history  and  literature.  These  courses  lead  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Science  and  offer  among  other  things  the  best  training  available  in  the  state  for  teachers  of

science  in  the  high  schools.  They  also  give  a tech- 
nical equipment  for  a variety  of  positions  in  the 
industrial  world  and  in  government  service. 

Other  work  in  the  outline  above  is  planned  to 
give  (what  the  Morrill  law,  under  which  the  col- 
lege is  founded,  clearly  intended)  an  opportunity 
for  the  young  women,  equally  with  the  young  men, 
to  secure  a training  for  definite  and  efficient  ser- 
vice. The  course  in  home  science  which  provides 
teachers  of  the  subject,  as  well  as  experts  in  prac- 
tical work,  the  secretarial  course,  the  courses  in 
art,  handicrafts  and  music  provide  each  a training 
which  looks  toward  a definite  kind  of  efficiency; 
an  ability  to  render  good  service  in  the  New 
Montana. 

The  college  can  now  offer  the  young  women 
of  the  state  the  best  dormitory  home  in  Montana, 
in  the  recently  built  “Hamilton  Hall”  for  young 
women.  The  type  of  education  offered  to  them, 
“Education  for  Efficiency,”  will  now  have,  it  is 
believed,  the  same  attraction  that  it  has  had  for 
the  young  men.  The  state  has  need  of  their  ser- 
vices. The  kinds  of  positions  for  which  the  col- 
lege prepares  young  men  and  women  may  be  seen 
in  the  Alumni  list  on  page  13.

HOW  THE  COLLEGE  IS  SUPPORTED 


The  Montana  State  College  of  Agriculture  and 
Mechanic  Arts  is  the  specially  favored  educa- 
tional institution  of  the  state.  It  enjoys  a cash 
appropriation  from  the  United  States  treasury,  of 
$50,000  per  annum.  The  land  endowment,  given 
also  by  the  federal  government,  the  largest  pos- 
sessed by  any  Montana  institution,  is  now  bringing 
in  half  the  funds  necessary  for  the  running  ex- 
penses, in  addition  to  the  federal  cash  grant  just 
mentioned,  for  this  land  income  is  included  in  the 
biennial  appropriation  of  the  legislature  for  the 
maintenance  of  the  college.  Last  year  three-fourths 
of  the  legislative  appropriation  came  not  from  the 
taxpayers’  money,  but  from  the  income  of  the  land 
endowment.  The  largest  of  the  state  institutions, 
the  college  .costs  the  taxpayers  of  Montana  less 
than  any  other.  The  one  thing  the  taxpayers  must 
furnish  is  the  buildings.  The  income  of  the  fed- 
eral land  grant  and  from  the  federal  treasury  can- 
not, by  law,  be  used  for  the  buildings.  But  though 
the  citizens  must  furnish  the  buildings,  the  federal 
government  does  nearly  all  the  rest.  The  annual 
income  of  the  college  proper  aside  from  that  used 
in  buildings  is  now  over  $100,000.

THE  GEOLOGICAL  MUSEUM 

THE  EXPERIMENT  STATION 

CLOSELY  allied  with  the  college,  but 
giving  no  direct  collegiate  instruc- 
tion to  the  students,  is  the  Montana 
Experiment  Station.  This  is  an  organ- 
ization of  experts  to  investigate  problems 
of  agriculture  in  the  most  comprehensive 
sense,  and  to  publish  reports  for  the 
benefit  of  the  people.  It  is  supported  by 
an  annual  cash  appropriation  from  the 


federal  government  of  $30,000  and  by  a 
somewhat  larger  appropriation  from  the 
state  treasury.  The  station  is  not  a part 
of  the  college  proper  and  could  do  its 
work  equally  well  if  there  were  no  col- 
lege here;  but  its  presence  is  a great 
advantage  to  the  college  for  many  of  its 
investigators  give  part  time  to  instruc-

tion  in  the  college  (receiving  pay  pro- 
portionately therefor).  This  secures 
more  expert  instructional  force  for  the 
work  of  teaching,  keeps  the  teaching  in 
close  touch  with  the  economic  and  in- 
dustrial applications  of  science,  thus 
making  for  efficiency,  and  affords  ad- 
vanced students  association  and  partic-

ipation  with  advanced  investigators 
in  science.  While  the  Experiment 
Station  then,  is  supported  by  its  own 
appropriation  and  is  justified  by  its 
immediate  aid  to  the  industrial  ad- 
vancement of  the  state,  its  presence 
is  a great  advantage,  though  no  ex- 
pense, to  the  college  itself.

COME  idea  of  the  City  of  Bozeman,  of  the  surrounding  country,  of  the  college  campus  and

fragmentary,  but  it  is  fair  representation;  for  a detailed  account  of  these  things  there  is  not 
space  available  here,  but  the  pictures  are  planned  to  tell  an  important  story  and  you  are  asked  to 
examine  them  with  care.  One  thing  may  be  noted  here,  which  the  pictures  cannot  bring  out 
clearly;  the  city  of  Bozeman  is  the  cleanest  city  morally  and  the  most  healthful  city  in  the  state. 

THE  MONTANA  FARMERS’  INSTITUTES 

The  Montana  Farmers’  Institute  Board  is  made  up  of  the  governor  of  the  state,  the  president 
of  the  college,  and  the  director  of  the  experiment  station,  who  direct  the  work  in  the  state. 
The  headquarters  of  the  work  is  at  the  college,  and  in  this  work  many  of  the  college  faculty  and 
station  staff  co-operate.  This,  too,  is  supported  by  its  own  appropriation,  but  its  presence,  like 
that  of  the  experiment  station,  in  many  ways  broadens  the  work  of  the  college.

A COLLEGE  DEMOCRACY 


STUDENT  life  in  this  college  is  less  organized,  less  crystalized,  than  in  older  institutions. 

Traditions  are  in  the  making.  This  means  that  the  newer  western  college  life,  like  the  newer 
western  life  in  general,  is  thoroughly  democratic.  A large  proportion  of  the  young  men  who 
attend  the  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts,  are  earning  their  own  way,  in  full  or 
in  part.  There  are  many  opportunities  about  the  College  and  Experiment  Station  for  securing 
semi-technical  work  which  has  an  educational  value  as  well  as  a pecuniary  reward.  A young  man 
who  is  in  earnest,  finds  a cordial  welcome.  The  college  has  won  a reputation  for  its  hospitality  to 
new  comers.  There  are  the  usual  college  organizations;  and  a college  paper.  The  Exponent,  of 
which  the  college  is  justly  proud.  The  Christian  associations  of  the  young  men  and  young  women 
are  notable  for  the  help  they  give  new  students. 

The  college  band  is  well  known  throughout  the 
state  and  also  the  college  choristers,  a mixed 
glee  club.  There  are  special  clubs  for  the  stu- 
dents: a civil  engineering  society  which  pub- 
lishes an  engineering  annual;  a branch  of  the 
American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engineers; 
agriculture,  home  science,  pharmacy  and  art; 
a literary  society,  the  Arena,  the  oldest  college 
literary  society  in  the  state;  a fair  and  grow- 
ing interest  in  intercollegiate  debating  and 
public  speaking.  College  loyalty  finds  expres- 
sion in  the  “College  Boosters”  and  their  fem- 
inine counterpai't  the  “Boosterines.”

ATHLETICS 


A THLETics  form  here 
an  important  part 
of  the  CO  1 1 ege  life. 

Sports  which  are  well 
organized  are  foot  ball, 
base  ball,  basket  ball, 
field  and  track  athlet- 
ics and  tennis.  College 
fees  and  gate  receipts 
of  games  have  been 
sufficient  to  keep  the 
teams  well  equipped 
and  to  pay  necessary 
expenses.  A new  ath- 
letic field  with  a quar- 
ter mile  cinder  track  is 
ready  for  use.  The  col- 
lege has  an  excellent 
basket  ball  floor.  The 
basketball  tournament 
inaugurated  in  March, 

1911,  for  the  high  schools  of  the  state,  proved  a most  interesting  event  and  will  be  repeated  an- 
nually. Systematic  physical  education  is  offered  to  girls  under  the  direction  of  the  Dean  of  Women.

STANDARDS 


The  Montana  State 
College  of  Agriculture 
and  Mechanic  Arts  chal- 
lenges comparison  of  its 
standards  for  admission 
and  graduation  with  any 
other  college  or  university 
in  its  own  or  any  other 
states. 

Its  collegiate  courses 
are  based  upon  a four 
years’  secondary  course, 
the  standard  for  first  class 
colleges  and  universities 
the  country  over.  It  has 
the  largest  body  of  strict- 
ly collegiate  students, 
judged  by  this  standard, 
in  the  state  of  Montana. 
It  is  equipped  for  the  work 
which  it  offers  to  do.  It 
has  an  adequate  instruc- 
tional force.  Its  work  is 
accepted  at  its  face  value

in  the  best  graduate  and  technical  schools  in  the  United 
States.  But  while  holding  its  standards  high,  it  is  still 
prepared  to  serve  through  several  subcollegiate  courses, 
the  people  of  the  state  who  for  good  reasons  cannot 
utilize  the  opportunity  fora  full  collegiate  course.  The 
subcollegiate  courses  deal  chiefly  with  agriculture  in  its

science,  subjects  as  yet  rarely 
taught  in  the  high  schools  of 
Montana.  For  providing  voca- 
tional training  for  students  of 
high  school  grades  the  College 
has  been  doing  pioneer  work  in 
this  state,  the  effect  of  which  is 
being  widely  felt.

WHY  NOT  COME 


to  the 

Montana  State  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts  ? 


UPHE  State  of  Montana  and  the  Government  of  the  United  States  are  supporting  this  College 

for  the  citizens  of  Montana.  Money  in  large  amounts  is  being  expended  here.  If  the  Col- 
lege can  help  you  and  you  do  not  take  its  help,  you  are  throwing  money  away.  If  you  are  able  to 
render  good  service  to  the  state,  but  fail  to  do  your  best  because  you  are  not  trained  to  your  high- 
est efficiency,  you  have  fallen  short  in  your  duty  to  your  community,  which  has  a right  to  the  best 
service  that  you  can  render.  Perhaps  the  days 
for  you  to  go  to  college  have  gone  by.  Perhaps 
you  have  the  cares  and  responsibility  of  a family, 
and  a business  to  maintain.  How  about  your 
children?  Are  they  to  be  trained  to  their  highest 
efficiency?  How?  Where? 

Would  the  kind  of  education  which  this  book 
describes,  have  helped  you?  Then  give  them  a 
chance.  If  it  is  a question  of  expense,  write  to 
the  College,  tell  them  what  schooling  your  children 
have  had,  what  they  want,  what  you  can  do  for 
them,  and  what  they  can  do  for  themselves.  Per- 
haps a way  could  be  found.  If  you  can  afford  to 
send  them  at  your  expense,  what  better  thing  can 
you  do  for  them?  Please  think  it  over.  oscn...<.GRAPH  .n  k,.k<tr.cal  eng.nkrr.ng  ..ab„rat,.ry

A FEW  RELEVANT  FACTS 


Board,  room  and  other  expenses  can  be  obtained  more 
reasonably  in  Bozeman  than  in  most  other  towns  in  the 
state.  Young  ladies  can  find  excellent  board  and  room  in 
“Hamilton  Hall”  at  a low  price.  The  college  charges  every 
student  an  annual  general  fee  of  $12.00  and  in  addition,  special 
fees  for  laboratory  courses  to  pay  the  cost  of  material.  Full 
information  about  the  requirements  for  admission,  the  courses 
offered  and  the  methods,  standards  and  equipment  of  the  col- 
lege may  be  had  from  the  college  catalog,  a copy  of  which  will 
be  sent  free  on  application.  Special  descriptive  bulletins  re- 
garding the  work  in  engineering,  the  work  in  agriculture,  the 
work  in  pharmacy,  and  the  work  for  young  women  are  also 
published  and  will  be  sent  free  upon  application.
